Courage and Survival
Great Books about Survival
Our world is a jungle. Darwin was right to write about the survival of the fittest, because to survive in the human jungle today we need courage, tons of courage. As I have a lot of experience about survival, I decided to publish this lens about a few stories about courage and survival.

Novels About Reincarnation
Best Reincarnation Novels Of All Times
Reincarnation is one of my favorite topics and over time I have read a ton of books including novels about reincarnation. While the non-fiction books on past lives are some of my favorites, I do love reading novels that have something about reincarnation (and time travel) as well. Some stem from real life experiences while others are just novels that entertain - and they definitely entertain and keep me occupied with reading for hours! So here is my favorite list of the best novels on reinc...
